For Gillam, her position at Jones Gillam Renz has given her opportunity to watch her community grown. Every day presents something different and exciting. Gillam is avidly involved in the community as a member of the Salina Area Young Professionals Steering Committee, a member of the Friends of the Smoky Hill Museum Board, Chairwoman for the Downtown Design Review Board and volunteers at the Salina Animal Shelter and United Way.
